My thoughts…

Where do thoughts arise ,can we control them or are they controlling me?I was just thinking of my work ,then I realise that I am thinking of my son in the midst of the stream of thoughts. Yesterday he had fallen and hurt himself on the head by hitting directly on the forehead to the cemented step..it was so heart breaking.I could not see him cry ,i could have stopped him from falling ,when he tripped . Should I not be concentrating on my work than divert my mind ? Some people have great concentration and I admire them,is it a God given gift?? There are many ways to improve concentration and lessen thoughts.

“Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth - more than ruin - more even than death… Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit. Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid. Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, and the chief glory of man.”

Betrand Russell

The mind is the man, and knowledge mind; a man is but what he knoweth.”
Francis Bacon

    thoughtless minds go wasted;mindeful thoughts are ever a treat…right thinking in the midst of wrong/stressful/wicked sorroundings/circumstances of life are the right way of minding one’’s thoughts always mam.nice thought-provoking one-to set the minds ticking?

  11. Pradeep says

    Good one Ria….. its extreamlly difficult to control our thought process (negative at times) and at times we feel helpless….. those who have better control over their thought process are easily be considered as great

  15. toms abraham says

    Lady……….All that happen in the very part of earth is written……What you did was written and what you plan is already written.. Cautiousness in life is important but it, at any time, should not hinder life. For such hinderance diminishes the glare of life. The fall of your son was written. It was written cause his fall made your love for him rise to a new high. Sometimes we tend to forget some people and when we need their presence, they might have gone too far. So express love for life is one and she gives no second chance. Falls remind us of that forgotten love. Go…..Express your love….Dont think he/she is your enemy bcoz life gives no second chance. She is very cruel….

    Amazing… Very rightly put and I agree 100% with Betrand Russell… Thoughts are the seeds, which make this universe… For concentration, yes it is difficult.. But with caution we can do it… It comes with practice. But all the time there are things that keep hanging on. As such when in exam hall, we forget everything else. No easy way out though.. Keep writing, this one post came out of where? Didn”t predict it coming :) All the best.. And don”t worry much about hurts to children, it is part of growing up. Parents can”t protect them all the time… (Rahul)

    even I admire people who are very concentrated , but even analysing tat ur mind was distratced is the first step , so good goin & avery nice post

  18. vinay vaidya says

    May be great one liners, I don”t agree. Thought is always a distraction from the present moment of ”now” It is always a repetition of the past, -a personal utopia. It is very useful in the most technical things, yet it has some handicapps. When we work ”attentively”, the thought is absent, the insight starts playing it’’s role. It is only when we have resolved a problem, thought re-appears and takes the credit. So …..
    Warm Regards.
